Welcome to my blog -- Jones Family Matters. Over time, I hope to post stories, pictures, etc. from all of my family lines. The initial posts will be about the Joneses, but I've researched my German and Irish roots, too. Surnames I've investigated include: Jones, Ryan, von der Heide, Cronin, Probert, Dailey, Wainright, Reed and Hellmann. I am consoled by those who came before me and hope you are, too.

I'm back . . . literally

﻿

Bacharach, Germany

Exactly one week ago today, I was landing at CVG (the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky International Airport) on the second leg of a trip that began much earlier in the morning in Milan, Italy. I was part of a trio from the northern Kentucky/Cincinnati area who met up with another six intrepid travelers from Florida.

I must really be getting old. It has taken me this entire week to recover from the jet lag and get back into my normal routine -- and I'm not working like most of my fellow travelers. Last night was the first night I went to bed at a "normal" time and woke up at a reasonable time in the morning. There were some nights when I woke up at 4:40 AM, unable to go back to sleep. After all, it was 10:40 in Italy!

I knew I was back on track when I could click on my google reader and read some of the many posts my fellow bloggers had written in my absence. I actually wanted to post to my own blog. I even created a powerpoint presentation for a talk I am giving Saturday at our library. I'm going to try to entice others to consider writing their own family history blogs.

So now that I've "recovered" you'd think I'd be finished with traveling for awhile. As my husband and I have frequently noted, however, once you've been bitten, the travel bug is forever with you. So here is to the next time!
